There then is the case in favour of appointment by parliament rather than
popular election.<HUGE G>.

As a side line, I doubt if C's would ever lead again due to major cab mods,
however if they did, I doubt if it would happen on the Western Line whilst
ASW is in use, due to the equipment being removed for the NR's.

Have NRC been able to fit ASW into the AWARE radios, or have they decided to
give it a miss due to the fact that  the USE BY DATE for this system is
nearly up???
